It isn't up to the US, Europe or anyone else to decide on Africa's behalf who they should ally with or whose investments they should accept.

Let's not pretend the West has any interest in "Bringing them into the fold of liberal, freedom valuing societies." We're interested in colonizing, exploiting and undermining them in exactly the way we have for centuries, in tapping into another pool of resources and cheap labor.

And so are China and UAE to be fair, but at least they're investing in infrastructure. What is the US doing other than funding the dictators who work child slaves to death in the rare earth mines that feed our tech industry?
Remote access has been way faster on vscode for me. I'm not sure what the daemon has to do with speed here, if anything it's one of the reason why remote SSH on vscode is so good.
I am a dual citizen, and I have not found this to be the case in either of my two countries. Neither of them will accept photo IDs issued by the other, except for passports.

Show HN: Resizer2 – i3/KDE window movement on Windows
I was really frustrated when I needed to go back to windows after using KDE for a few years, and becoming used to the Meta+Mouse keybinds for resizing and moving windows around, so I made a script for it that lets me use those shortcuts on windows too, maybe someone here finds it useful too?

I also really need help with a name for the project, resizer2 doesn't sound that cool and catchy :(
Granted, you can get it at Best Buy/Amazon if you're not a fan of the Keychron site: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/keychron-k2-he-75-custom-wirele...

Unfortunately the world of mechanical keyboards is indeed that nuanced.
So if somehow the USA was gung-ho for this kind of thing, all we'd need is peace and a spirit of communal sharing in places like East and Central African nations, Pakistan, Kashmir, India, Palestine, Israel, rural China, Russia, Ukraine, the Balkans...

...oh right. So we'd have to go and "induce" communal sharing using our military. So lots of people would die in the name of an authority asserting that everyone will share everything, except the resources involved in killing, because then we couldn't make sure everyone shares. So we don't share those resources.

...hey wait this scenario is ringing a bell.
Sure, but my point was that refactoring is still possible with LSP. The main refactoring options exist already.
I was on by default for me, both after the macOS 14 -> 15 upgrade and after installing macOS 15 cleanly. I wonder if they ask for consent in some regions only.
Did OpenAI put social, financial, or legal pressure on him? Genuinely asking, I have no idea
The author misses the whole point of abstractions, and that is a layer B that covers layer A so completely that no one using layer B needs to know how layer A works at all, except for those working on the layer A/B bridge.

For example, binary logic is a perfect abstraction over semiconductor physics. No one doing computer science needs to understand anymore the complexities of voltages and transistors and whatever. TCP is a perfect abstraction over IP. Memory as a big array of bytes is a perfect abstraction over the intricacies of timing DRAM refreshes.

And that's about it. No one reading this post has written an abstraction ever. (a leaky abstraction is not an abstraction). So yes, actually, abstractions are free, and they don't leak. That's the whole point. The problem is that what you call an abstraction isn't an abstraction.

Computer science's complete failure to create a new abstraction since like TCP intrigues me. Why don't we have a system X that abstracts over memory accesses so well that no one needs to know anymore how caches or memory locality works? Why aren't there entire subfields studying this?
Wow, that's actually hilarious!! :D
In the UK they get that by doubling the voltage. The current draw will still be similar to the US.

It's over current that causes fires.
> The one platform we care about a bit that it does not currently seem to have enough support for is Cygwin, which is sad, but we have to make a cut somewhere.

> We’re also losing Cygwin as a supported platform for the time being, because there is no Rust target for Cygwin and so no way to build binaries targeting it. We hope that this situation changes in future, but we had also hoped it would improve during the almost two years of the port. For now, the only way to run fish on Windows is to use WSL.

I understand, but this is indeed incredibly sad. To this day I still use Cygwin, and in fact prefer it to WSL depending on what I'm doing. Cygwin is an incredible project that is borderline miraculous for what it accomplished and provides. Without Cygwin I may not have any sanity left. I can't exude enough love for the Cygwin team.

Hopefully rust will support cygwin as a build target in the future!
You won't. The Oasis line has been discontinued.
The Civil War narrative Shelby Foote. It’s excellent.
I mean...I feel like lots of rules are changed by people just saying they don't like the rule? Modern society would be pretty unworkable if the only way to change any rule was public rebellion.

(Plus, its not really clear to me that Carlson actually cares about the dress code rule? By his own admission, he broke it by accident, not like a concious act of rebellion, and his issue seems to have been with the way it was then enforced rather then the rule itself.)
FWIW, SS7 had known flaws very long ago.

It's apparent it has been kept in place because of all of the value it provides to the 5 eyes.

It could be tied to iCloud Photos, perhaps, because then you already know that your photos are getting uploaded to Apple.
Worms 2 on PC and Worms Armageddon + World Party on Dreamcast were some of the most fun I ever had with video games. Also one of the few games my mom ever played lol. RIP

On top of the fun of playing the games themselves, being able to easily customize levels and weapon sets (and weapons themselves to an insane degree in Worms 2 on PC) set a standard that few games meet even now.
If you connect it to a USB A with an adapter it will work, right?
Sure, but if we follow that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, we must move to a cabin in the woods, 100 miles from the nearest civilization, growing our own food and never connecting our computing devices to anything resembling a network.
they get paid a ludicrous amount. the status of their working conditions are inconsequential.
Important to note that many huge successful companies got there by making big bets and most companies that make big bets fail.

The market rewards innovation in the aggregate, but if you’re a founder trying to make it big, there’s still a lot of luck involved.
"analytics have caught up" this seems like an odd statement. For the longest time 3 point average was about 1/3 while the two point shot was around 1/2. So it doesn't really matter which shot you took, other than you have a limited number of shots. But once the odds of making the 3 pointer creeps higher than 1/3, then it becomes with more. Has nothing to do with analysis catching up.
So AGI now stands for Artificially Generated Income. Got it.
I’m stealing your information.

Hey! That’s wrong.

But I promise I won’t do anything wrong with it.

Well ok then.
Oh I dunno. Your comment made me chuckle and I’m largely on the fence on this one but it doesn’t seem too outrageous to say that maybe this is a slight invasion of people’s privacy without asking them to opt in.
In my whole career I've seen 0 correlation between effort and rewards.
Intent matters in court.
Not true. Only the highest level researchers get paid a ludicrous amount. Most engineers at OpenAI in SF would get paid about 300k which can barely afford the taxes and rent in SF.
This is why there will be a market for personal LLMs that act as your agent, or maybe shared for a family or the like.
So did a million other people. Think your bit is better than everyone else’s?

A 3.7V nominal li-ion battery would peak at about 4.5V while charging. A bit high, but a well designed circuit should be able to do that off 5V. Besides, 75% is far short of where the voltage starts to spike.

I don't think you'll find a lot of people fighting about newtons gravity equations, the year of the French revolution or the fundamentals about steam engines.
The issue is that the pagers did not solely belong to terrorist organizations. Just like all the missiles hitting apartment buildings in Gaza didn't hit apartment buildings where only terrorists lived. Why are we still believing this line of no collateral damage?

(I suppose we could interpret that the damage still occurred but was not collateral - that would imply it was purposeful)
I don’t know about iPads, but my iPhone shows a message when the delayed charge thing is active. I think it’s even one of those always on notifications you can’t swipe away.
I loved browsing the emacsconf videos this year, really nicely presented, and such cool stuff happening. Still have lots to watch, but so far in particular the infrastructural and UI type stuff seemed amazing, there's loads happening! Favourites included:

Not just for getting talent, but also so people can feel closer to the sport. There's more of a connection when the game you're playing casually is the same as the game that you're watching the really skilled people play.
What's wrong with OpenAI working conditions?
What is a "Platform Engineer"? I never heard that term before today.
Not very smart of him to post that while looking for a job. I know it is nerd smart but it is not real world smart. Any prospective employers looking for any excuse to reduce the number of candidates will find the blog post and reject you.

And yes, I understand that this automation is but a reaction to the way companies handle applications
Thank you for this comment. I found the author's ignorance to be fairly discrediting, and was surprised to find so many follow up comments equally railing on Apple.

Between the quote you pointed out and:

"One thing I do know, however, is that Apple computers are constantly full of privacy and security vulnerabilities, as proved by Apple's own security release notes"
which just reeks of survivorship bias.

I think the final call of what is right here _shouldn't_ be informed by the linked article.

IMO, enabled by default without opt-in is absolutely the right call when judging between 1: Feature value 2: Security risk 3: Consent Fatigue.

If you're data-conscious enough to disagree with my prior statement, you should consider having lockdown mode enabled.

If you disagree with my prior statement because of how Apple locks you into Photos, :shake_hands:.

If Enhanced Visual Search is still enabled by default in lockdown mode, then I think that's worth a conversation.
The victim's grieving mother says that it took 40 seconds, with no explanation of where that number came from. I strongly suspect that this is not how the medical examiner would characterize things. Even if the police have incontrovertible evidence of what happened, they would not be running around telling the media about it for the sake of OpenAI's reputation.
Actually, training it yourself is probably better in terms of copyright. If you train an LLM that only you use, from books you own, I don't see how that is actually illegal. As long as you're not selling the LLM or content it generates is there any legal issue?
Now NATO and the US forced russia to invade a sovereign country and go to war with them, killing hundreds of thousands of people?

Also now somehow russia is not full of human people but has the intelligence of a rabid animal with a disease affecting its brain and somehow their borders were crossed with aggression?

I'm guessing there is no explanation or evidence coming for any of these claims because if you had it, you would have put it in your comment.
You highlighted it. The real problem is when you get somewhere you still need a car.
> Numbers are Leaves

In mathematical tree nomenclature, the leaf nodes of the trees in the article are all 0 (represented by the empty set). So only the number zero is truly a leaf. ;)
> decades of carbrained policies

Decades of carbrained policies they voted for and continue to vote for and continue to believe in.

This isn't some shadowy cabal doing things that everyone hates but somehow has no power over. These are popular policies being picked. We're never going to enact real change if we don't acknowledge people currently do want these things, and it's not obvious to them that the alternatives are better.

You and I agree the alternatives are generally better and we should at least move to give more people the option to live in car-free or at least not car dependent areas. But a ton of people honestly think that kind of a choice is a terrible idea and don't want to see it happen. And they're far from auto industry payrolls.
Google became an asset of the government.
By selecting what you see they control what you think, what you buy who you vote for, similar to legacy media.

Open AI has started on day one with that goal.
Because adding shit to the pool doesn’t help. The jobs aren’t there, and crapping in an empty pool doesn’t help any more than pissing in a full pool.
> iPad batteries output 3.7v if I'm not mistaken, but I'm unsure what they charge with.

For those not familiar with the tech, the term "3.7v battery" means that it is about 4.2 volts when full. Black hole indeed.
"The light" you claim is that users should have the knowledge and discernment to consent to what a computer does.

To me, there's never been a case, except maybe in the first decade or so of the hobby/tinkering PC movement, where most users had this ability.

Should we just not use computers?
Yes, racist.

I took my (Asian) partner back with me to visit the small town I grew up in, and I could not believe some of the shit coming out of people's mouths when they saw her. Literally 1 in 5 people she talked to while we were there would do some sort of "funny" voice or ask her some real stupid shit; and 1 in 20 people we passed while walking around in the downtown area would shout slurs at her from across the street.

And that's with me there walking with her—I can't even imagine what they'd be doing if she was there alone.
I feel like this article slapped a bunch of possible solutions together just for the sake of having a list, rather than to actually consider what might be a good idea. So if there's any fans of basketball here, I'd be interested in hearing what you actually think would be a good idea.
I’ve flown myself out for interviews at companies that were dream jobs. Think: sports industries, not insurance companies. They tended to be small and didn’t have the resources to put together reservations (and would have taken months to figure out budgeting situations)

Yes, I wanted to work for them so badly it was well worth the risk. Sometimes you see opportunities and want to pay for them.
The people tagging data are making much less.
Everyone wants to think about how practical things are. A high speed sleeper train across America would be cool. People should do more cool shit.
Poland is a NATO country. Russia won't attack Poland, they only attack weak countries. Even if they take over Ukraine, their next target would be Kazakhstan or Moldova or Georgia.
Some suppliers have support for it, some don't. They either use docker or kvm and it depends on how clever their hosting software is. We can do it, but that's a recent thing. it's really hit or miss
Most places have such chaotic onboarding that it would take a few months to truly get signal that the employee knew nothing.
No? You can have a photos app that doesn't phone home while not having to move to a cabin in the woods. See: every photos app that doesn't phone home, and I currently don't live in a cabin in the woods.
Thanks Marc. Wishing you the best in your ventures too!
Yes, as I said: systems such as Russell's encoded "1", "2" and "+" in such a way that the theorem "1 + 1 = 2" is non-trivial to prove. This doesn't say anything about the difficulty of proving that 1 + 1 = 2, but merely the difficulty of proving it in a particular logical encoding. Poincare ridiculed the Principia on this point almost immediately.

And had Russell failed to prove that 1 + 1 = 2 in his system, it would not have cast one jot of doubt on the fact that 1 + 1 = 2. It would only have pointed to the inadequacy of the Principia.
These types of EU regulations (like the USB-C one on phones) don't prescribe anything. If the industry comes up with better tech, that's great, people can move on to that. What happens in the meanwhile is that the old standard remains on the device alongside the better system so that people aren't forced into wastefully tossing away dozens of cables overnight.

It's infinitely better than the absolute clown fiesta we used to have with phones, in either case.
Nobody responding seriously to this because you seem to have missed the part where GP said "with noise added to make it irreversible" and the third sentence in that wikipedia article.
I don't trust that data (haha, trust). how do they ascertain trust? By asking? It might be true that Scandinavians claim they trust their neighbors but those are places where your stuff will get stolen, packages get stolen, you don't leave stuff on a public table to use the restroom if you don't want it stolen. In other words, you can't actually trust people. They list Japan as less trusting, even less trusting than that USA. But, actions speak louder than words. You can trust others in Japan. You can't trust others in LA, NYC, SF Bay Area, Seattle, Chicago, and other major metropolitan areas of the USA (the places where everyone lives.)

So, it seems like their methodology doesn't actually match reality and is why I don't trust their results.
It is a spectrum, and I'd love to be able to draw my own line. I have my own photo storage solution. I do not need Apple's.
Well LinkedIn does a lot of stuff around making sure the accounts are for real people. Kind of helps with many of the issues people are complaining about. I mean they can improve it, but they do some level of effort.

Wanting to label things isn't a problem.

Identifying things such that they become their labels and are defined by those labels is really, really harmful. You see this in BPD, too (borderline personality disorder, which the person I mentioned has also been formally diagnosed with): if someone is "good" today then they can do nothing wrong, or if they are "bad" today, then they can do nothing right... independent of the actions themselves. The same behavior, in the same context, can be received in completely different ways depending on the label the BPD person feels like assigning today. That's not healthy.

What I was getting at above is that this style of interpretation of labels seems to be somewhat common among neurodivergent people, and it's a fallacy that doesn't do anyone any good. Labels as guides or to help set priors are fine. Labels as definitions are not, and when people get upset, it's worth checking in and seeing if there's a map-territory / label-definition mistake being made.
The customer (companies) don’t think the price for US employees is a good deal and prefer to find a cheaper option that can’t quit as easily.

In market terms, H1B workers are simply a better product - slightly cheaper (because companies can game the system) and more predictable (because they can’t show the employer the middle finger).
Is that really true? I saw some one-bedroom apartments there for $3500 -- expensive but even with that, 300K is a decent amoount. According to an online tax calculator, the take home pay is 185,000 or 15.4K per month.

Even if you spend a bit and spend another 3K per month on stuff like food, bills, and some spending money, that's still almost 9K that you can save per month. Sounds VERY lavish to me. So lavish that in 15 years of work you could save up 1.6 million, buy a cheap house somewhere (or already have one from buying it while working there) for $500K and have 1.1 million to live frugally on and just work on side projects for a little extra cash.
It's not charitable to construct a contrived situation no one is talking about and place that into the mouth of a commenter.
Yep! I lay the blame squarely on the failed NY Nanotechnology Initiative which turned a massive head start in fabrication R&D into corrupt pork barrel politics.

You need to keep up with the times too.

Clean jeans are normal for “smart casual” now. And the dress code shouldn’t be so prescriptive. If you can pass as “smart casual” somewhere else, should be legal.

> The one goal of the port we did not succeed in was removing CMake.

> That’s because, while cargo is great at building things, it is very simplistic at installing them. Cargo wants everything in a few neat binaries, and that isn’t our use case. Fish has about 1200 .fish scripts (961 completions, 217 associated functions), as well as about 130 pages of documentation (as html and man pages), and the web-config tool and the man page generator (both written in python).

Our issue for this is https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/2729

Personally, I lean away from Cargo expanding into these use cases and prefer another tool being implemented on top. I've written more about this at https://epage.github.io/blog/2023/08/are-we-gui-build-yet/

> When we want to talk about their solution in the interview, they “can’t remember” how it works or why they picked their method.

Sweet! That sounds like perfect signal for "used ChatGPT" to answer this question. So, you can send take home test, candidate sends reply (many from ChatGPT), then you do quick follow-up phone/video call to discuss the code. When you get the "signal" (should be quick!), then you immediately close the interview and move to the next candidate.
Well, someone committed suicide and they also went against the company by challenging them publicly. A company that makes a truckload of money. Shouldn't an investigation be in order?
